18 miles from the kennedy space center

37
00:02:26,869 --> 00:02:24,550
the next event is burnout and separation

38
00:02:28,869 --> 00:02:26,879
of the twin solid rocket boosters which

39
00:02:48,229 --> 00:02:28,879
are burning propellant at a rate of 11

the event of a single engine failure

53
00:03:47,750 --> 00:03:43,599
however all three engines are continuing

54
00:03:51,350 --> 00:03:49,830
hydraulic systems in excellent shape as

55
00:03:53,350 --> 00:03:51,360
are the fuel cells producing the

00:03:55,270 --> 00:03:53,360
electricity for the vehicle three

57
00:03:57,750 --> 00:03:55,280
minutes 20 seconds into the flight

58
00:04:00,470 --> 00:03:57,760
atlantis is 97 miles downrange at an

61
00:04:13,990 --> 00:04:12,470
very quiet here in mission control as

62
00:04:16,069 --> 00:04:14,000
the flight control team continues to

63
00:04:18,229 --> 00:04:16,079
watch over all systems everything

64
00:04:20,229 --> 00:04:18,239
continuing to go very smoothly with

atlantis can no longer return to the

69
00:04:46,070 --> 00:04:44,560
kennedy space center in the event of an

70
00:04:47,990 --> 00:04:46,080
engine failure but all three are

71
00:04:49,909 --> 00:04:48,000
continuing to perform well

72
00:04:53,590 --> 00:04:49,919
as are the hydraulic systems and the

73
00:04:56,870 --> 00:04:53,600
electricity producing fuel cells

74
00:04:59,670 --> 00:04:56,880
four minutes 20 seconds into the flight

00:05:16,469 --> 00:05:15,110
the twin orbital maneuvering system

78
00:05:18,390 --> 00:05:16,479
engines continue to provide an

79
00:05:20,390 --> 00:05:18,400
additional boost to atlantis as it heads

80
00:05:22,629 --> 00:05:20,400
toward the international space station

81
00:05:26,150 --> 00:05:22,639
that ohm's assist should wrap up in the

82
00:05:27,990 --> 00:05:26,160
next 15 seconds or so

83
00:05:29,909 --> 00:05:28,000
all continuing to go very smoothly with

atlantis can reach orbit on two engines

98

now should one fail however all three

reach zaragoza and spain on one engine

108
00:07:13,270 --> 00:07:10,870

reach a safe orbit on two engines now

110
00:07:18,390 --> 00:07:15,039
